Aubameyang has cleared a video of him attacking Arteta

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, currently in the ranks of Chelsea, clarified some of his comments about Mikel Arteta after a video showed him in the last hours on social networks harshly criticizing the Arsenal manager.

The Gabonese striker, who played six months at Barça last season before joining Chelsea, said he had “a lot of bad feelings” towards Arsenal when he left with Arteta, but now wishes him the best. despite defending the Arsenal shirt ‘blues’, his great enemy of the people.

The video, which was leaked on social networks, shows Aubameyang assuring Youtube channel A Jewelers that his problems are with Arteta. The reason why he left Arsenal and signed for Barça on the last day of January 2022 was due to, according to him, the Basque coach’s inability to work with talented footballers.

“He can’t treat important players or players with strong character. He needs young players, who don’t say anything and just listen,” Aubameyang said of Arteta.

Now the striker clarified that this video was recorded just after his arrival at Barça at the same time he terminated his contract with Arsenal.

“At the time I still had a lot of bad feelings – Arsenal are doing great things this season and I wish my former team-mates well,” tweeted Aubameyang. But he added: “Not just on November 6”, because that’s the day the Gunners visit Stamford Bridge in the London derby.

Aubameyang had differences with Arsenal and Arteta last season over disciplinary problems, as he was stripped of the captaincy before finally terminating his contract to sign for Barça.

Aubameyang remembers in the video how he thought about his arrival at Camp Nou: “Barça called my father, we know the coach, Xavi. So they called me, saying that there is an opportunity, because I have problems at Arsenal but I can help, there are many of them so I said okay.”
